Looks like the weather has cleared and it's time to ride Mt Wellington. Any pace you want to ride will be fine, we are trying to get a group together for the ride as it would make it a lot more enjoyable riding as a group than a solo effort.

G'day Rob, I'm not in (ruddy work) or don't think you're crazy so enjoy the ride. Make sure you rug up - 14deg max for Hobart today with probably around 2deg on the summit when taking into account altitude gain makes it a wee chilly.

I'm looking foward to it, I'll be riding the bike track up Mt Wellington and return. Sat is supposed to be Mainly Fine and 18, so around 10 at the summit. I'll be taking a camera to take a few snaps on the way.

This bikely map shows the elevation - hit "show" then "elevation profile". The steepest part is the bit between the Springs and the Chalet - can be quite disheartening This route shows going up Strickland Ave and down Huon Rd - personally I'd stick to Strickland both ways - Huon Rd is a faster descent, but after coming down Pinnacle Rd you'll probably have had all the fast descending you want for one day and there's far less traffic on Strickland
